I've posted the results of the voting for community projects onto the
secure Wiki [1]. Please let me know if you can't access the page, and
I'll send you a copy of the PDF.
As we discussed during today's call, I propose that we support the top 4
projects, as that seems like a reasonable number of projects to track,
and won't lead to too much fragmentation of effort. The top 4 proposals
are also all very different, which makes it a good point to draw the
line. I recommend that we invite people who submitted other project
proposals to become involved in the ones SWEO will be supporting.
During the call we also discussed what SWEO supporting a project means.
The thoughts that we had included having a SWEO use case, highlighting
the projects during conference presentations, giving demos where
possible, and general blogging. Other ideas included engaging institutes
such as the Semantic Web School in Austria to train students using these
projects so that we get more code. Another idea would be for SWEO to
host a hackathon.
I'm looking forward to input from Kjetil as he's the task lead. :-)
Cheers,
Susie
